I am REALLY not fond of the modifications to tab behavior that rolled in on two nights ago's Bon Echo build. Sideways scrolling with no relative position feedback using two buttons located on opposite sides of the tab bar? Are you smoking the crack?

When for one reason or another I had to wrangle a whole pile of tabs at once, shrinky tabs worked. This doesn't. Hope they've got a vision for how to make this non-painful before B1 hits.

Also, I cleaned the bathroom last night! (Speaking of usability.)

So I guess that once you go back to around 1 AD, it's mathematically certain that there existed a single person who is a common ancestor of everyone alive? Kind of insane.

Surly's "Cynic Ale" is the best beer currently on tap at Acadia. If you can find it where you're living, go ahead and hit it. It is non-regrettable. (It also gets me trashed with alacrity. It's marked as 6.7% by volume, but it feels bigger than that. Must be the hops. I doubt my ability to handle two pints of the stuff.)

Here's a cool program. It's basically a standard Cocoa NSTextView editor control (i.e. it behaves the same way TextEdit does in plaintext mode), except:
1. If you hit the zoom (green) button in the window control, it goes totally fullscreen, blocking out everything else.
2. Instead of files, it manages a list of auto-saving buffers. If you want to edit in another program, you have to "export." (But it's not some kind of deliberately incompatible format; it edits, saves, and exports as plain old text. Doesn't handle Unicode saving as well as BBEdit, but c'est la vie.)
So yeah, kind of primitive, and I don't like that I can't open up and edit individual files, but it's really nice when you need to just eliminate all distractions and just get down a lot of text. I like.

Um, I've got some, like, little bitty... lumpy... bubbles or something? On the side of my index finger. They look kind of like a nettle sting, but they're not. Wasn't there a James Kochalka book about that? What on earth is it? (Sorry if that was TMI.)
